Biographie de QUILICI Jean-Claude

Jean-Claude QUILICI

Indeed, Jean-Claude Quilici’s work owes its strength and uniqueness to his ability to represent natural light. More significantly however, his work owes much to modern expressionism, which is embodied and revealed in each of his pieces. Having retained the lessons of the landscape Masters of southern France, Jean-Claude Quilici is unquestionably the best representative of provincial expressionism today.

Jean-Claude Quilici was born of Corsican origin in the heart of Marseille in 1941. Today, he lives and works in Paris, France.
